SPOILER: What were THEY doing in ‘The Flash’?! An explanation of all those crazy cameos

The new Ezra Miller-starring superhero movie “The Flash” follows the titular and super-fast hero on a time-bending odyssey that literally sees “worlds collide” just as the tagline suggests, in a jaw-dropping climactic sequence showing various alternate-universe versions of certain DC mainstay characters. It’s sure to thrill some, while others will be left scratching their heads. The movie clearly exhibits an unabashed love for the DC Extended Universe as well as all the movies and TV shows that came before it, along with the comic book source material. But some of the references present at the end of “The Flash” are true deep-cut Easter eggs that even the most seasoned of fans may not totally get. While it was already well known that “The Flash” would feature the return of Ben Affleck’s grisly Batman from “Justice League” and “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” as well as Michael Keaton’s classic Caped Crusader from the beloved Tim Burton movies, several other cameos were total surprises.
